Hi, Can u explain anyone What is the meaning of REFORM 1 KGEOM 1 in non linear cable analysis what if i keep 0 instead of 1 " REFORM 1 KGEOM 0" Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…

Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

How to create a cantilever slab without beams in the Physical modeler in STAAD connect edition?

I've received a site specific spectral acceleration plot from the Geotechnical Engineer. How do I apply this plot with the inputs for RAM Frame? Do I calc the site specific acceleration based on RAM's calculation of the period and compare this to the…

Hello Everyone How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1) Figure 1-1 Figure 2-1

Hello Sir RCDC is designed and Detailed all the slab one by one but I want to detail all Top and Bottom Reinforcement of the two-way slab once, what should I do.

Hello, I received this message when I went to import my RAM Frame analysis to RAM Connection. I noticed that my load combinations did not appear in RAM Connection, and I was puzzled why. I found that I could generate my loads, but my base plate design…

Hello, I´m designing two small guardhouses in STAAD.Pro V8i SS5, both are RC structures with slab foundations, they are almost equal in principal geometry, loading and sections, the only thing that changes considerably from one model to the other is the…

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

I am analysing an RCC box girder for which some peculiar tapered sections have to be created. I created a tapered rectangular section in AutoCAD 2014. I used polyline to create the 2D and then extruded it to make it a solid 3D section. Now when I import…

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Hello, I built a simple truss model in Staad pro V8i. I am wondering whether there is a way to extract elemental stiffness matrix in global coordinate? I can access global stiffness matrix by enter SET PRINT STFFINESS in the basic solver. Is there any…

When running the STAAD, the result shows everything is right,. Structure is stable, no warning. Displacements are limited. BUT, I get some funny numbers for rotational displacement e.g. 533 degree & sometimes more. I checked releases. I believe they…

I am facing severe problem in results generated by program with following options. 1. I generated 300X300 mm quadrilateral mesh with option of create node at support location & optimisation level 3 and 10 as internal node spacing which is default. 2.…

Hi, This is my first post in this forum. I'm currently working for a post-tension consultant in Australia. I have some questions regarding Ram Concept and post-tension long-term losses According to Ram Concept manual the long-term losses includes…

While trying to design a model which is all steel members, the following error pops up; SteelCollection.dll not registered. I have included a snipping of the error window. Any help would be great. Regards, Scott

Gents, today i'm working on pipe/tubular section in my model. to check the ratio in analysis, i'm using API code, but for non tubular section, i use AISC 9th Ed. however, i have some question regarding API code. (i use STAAD Pro v8i SELECT 4 20…

I have set up a model in RAM. It is A steel frame sat on an RC base. I have run the data check and there are no errors or warnings. I have run the steel beam design and it has given me section sizes. However, every time I try to run the steel…
